Story
To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see HERE Age: 7 years Weight: 29 pounds This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. Mama Tread is an adult pug mix who showed up one day with Lily and Louie Locket, who are also available for adoption from SOS. Mama Tread is living in a very active foster home with an adult couple, a pre-schooler, four dogs, three cats, and chickens. She is fully integrated into the home, although she and the other dogs stay in an outdoor pen when the resident adults are working. Mama Tread is sometimes a little nervous around the other dogs, but increasingly, she is playing with them. She tends to ignore the resident cats and other small animals, but she has been friendly and playful with all of the people she has met. Sometimes, Mama Tread likes to bark at the other dogs and do some running and chasing, but her favorite hobby is digging holes! When she visits new places, she can be timid or anxious, at first, until she feels comfortable. In general, she is a quiet and calm girl, although she will alert bark and watchdog bark. It makes her very happy to cuddle with her people. She has started her house, crate, and leash training, and is making great progress. She rides calmly in cars. However, Mama Tread is an escape artist, and she can effortlessly climb over a three to four foot fence. So, it is very important to pay close attention to her whenever she is outside and unleashed to make sure that she will be safe. We recommend training for all of our dogs, because you get to learn the commands together and it also helps you bond with your new friend! Mama Tread is an extremely pleasant and resilient dog who is going to be a wonderful companion to whomever is lucky enough to adopt her!
